[pct-l] Full net bug bivy?

sea to summit makes a 3 oz "nano" net tent with no floor. It covers a sleeping bag & pad & can be tucked under the pad. It can be hung for about a 3 foot height at the top but tapers down at the ends. It can be staked down at the corners.

Having used it last weekend under a tarp in a heavily mosquitoed area, I have this comment about it. Mosquitoes can bite through it if your skin is in contact with it. They will whine trying to get close to you. I was okay until I had to get up at night. After that it took about half an hour to kill all the skeeters that got inside.

 I found several bug net bivy sacks,
 but they all have a solid floor (silnylon or cuben) for 5 or
 6 oz. 
 
 Does anyone make a full netting bug bivy? I just want
 something really light to through up if the bugs get bad. I
 just use the outer of a tarp tent notch and wouldn't mind
 the bug protection when I get further north on the trail.
 
 Thanks!
